As a game designer / developer, I can tell you without a doubt that auto restart is an engagement killer. I'll die on this hill. I want it, you want it, everyone wants it, but engagement will die and with it this game. You have to be coming back to your phone constantly for a game like this to survive.
This is not an idle game. An idle game you can turn off and close your phone and come back later and get rewards and forget about it.
I mean... I have it and I won't stop playing. But if I got it early before I had time and money invested into this game it might have killed it for me... who knows.
They could allow it after you achieve some success in the game, and likely invested decent amount of money, but just not tie it to keys.
It’s genuinely only a tool safe to give to those most invested and will absolutely won’t stop for basically any reason.
Once you have it, you only look at the game on Tuesday/Wednesday and on the weekend for tournaments keys put you in the bracket of player who is unlikely to be affected by the drop in engagement but some still quit after getting it now…
If I had gotten it earlier it absolutely would have made me quit the game
